Tell me about it. My car's computer indicates which tire has gone awry, but the husband's car - not so much - just the little blinking triangle with the exclamation point. Which sucks, because his car is the snow car (my car is awesome 9 months of the year, but it's rubbish in snow).

So...

We can put a man on the moon, but can't ...
- Currently put a man on the moon because there's no longer really a space program in the US.
- Give people in the US a functional healthcare system. (Although Obamacare was a good try.)
- Create a decent train infrastructure in the US. (Japan has bullet trains. The best we have is Acela.)

The list goes on ...
